Pulp Fritschon

In: May, Weideman Out: Petty, M Brown In the weeks to come - In: BBB, Fritsch Out: Jones, Tmac

First few minutes of the match I knew we were in for a struggle. We had a quick play from the wing to inside 50 but there was no space to find a target. Credit to Clarko but we found a way. Last quarter was electric. Hibberd was awesome. Wound the clock back to 2018. Massive bonus, I thought he was passed it. Happy to be wrong. Go Dees

Reported as up to 2 weeks - so still a chance for the Tigers I'd keep Sparrow in and only make the change for May. Max and Melksham to spend more time forward. Tommy Mac and Jackson to hit the scoreboard this week.

Gee the Cats were so so lucky it was wet. We were all over them most of the day. Dry day and we would have really carved them up. Great win. Our tackling was awesome. We were physical and ferocious. Good signs. Big shame about May. Petty gets his chance. We will be ok.

Brown to play at the G next week. Must be fit enough. Half a game and a few touches in the 2nds is enough.

Kozzie for pick 12 what an absolute bargain! 3-0 feels so good. Enjoy. Ahead of the ledger and the confidence will grow. If we made the most of our scoring opportunities the last two weeks we would have had a couple of thumping wins. Look out when that clicks. Great time to play the Cats.

Haha same here. Keep replaying it but just can’t see it. It was unbelievable! The only place I have seen a move like that was in the Matrix

If Danger got 3 be good result for us....I am not a Danger fan but I am no sure..... Looks like he lined him up in slow motion but in normal speed he was charging at him to tackle. Kelly handballs then Danger can’t really avoid contact so he braces/bumps. Big hit. Poor Kelly. His Vlastin GF hit looked bad in slow mo also but nothing happened there Will be interesting

Scrappy but I’ll take it. I can see where we will improve. Freo could have made us real nervous by taking some chances in the last. But in saying that we missed some real sitter set shots - could have easily won by 45+ Lever awesome. BOG easily. May very good. I like Petty but he will have to wait. Tomlinson was also good. Kozzie showed some really good signs. Rivers had some turnovers but also had some really good moments. Jackson that last mark was a wow moment. His body change from year 1 to 2 is quite exceptional. Credit to him. Mids struggled with clearances but good to see some different names used through the middle. Jordon, Sparrow, ANB and Kozzie ect. Viney back in soon and Yze will find the right mix. Good to see a mix up here.

I went to the Dogs marvel game and the whole herded like cattle into sections, specific entry and exit points, although understandable was a real turnoff for me. As a 5 game country member Freo at the G had little appeal other than being round 1.

Good analysis of the early draw CHF, - looks favorable for us. Just hope the draw stays the same. We all remember the Cairns debacle but ironically we were supposed to play the Swans and Dockers in rounds 5 and 6 last year.

After entering barcode - select/scroll down right hand side and select General Reserved (second option from bottom)

Dogs had the ball yesterday we didn't. We were missing some key mids and it was preseason. I am not going to get that down about yesterday. Injury avoidance is the main thing in these games. Hope May is ok

I wish this article was written when the start the year 8-1 and is sourced from what people see rather than us broadcasting it now. Communicating this now just seems to put a target on our head. Melbourne all talk again ect. I am a very positive supporter and I know positivity is good marketing but I just wish the positivity coming from the club ( been huge this week) would just be turned down a few notches until we actually do something.

They play GWS first round at Giants stadium.....then Round 2 at Marvel against us being their first home game of the year making it that much harder for us to get a ticket I'd say.

In the stream Friday Tim Lamb said Deakyn was training with the club as an NGA and could only train with us once a week due to that. I assume his NGA status has carried over to this year. Makes sense that it would.

Not sure if this has been mentioned (haven't gone back through the entire thread) From Tim Lamb's comments on the live stream Friday and reading between the lines a bit - given the NAB league has gone to a 19 year old rule this year - Deakyn Smith will still be eligible for us to take as a NGA in next years draft. Can anyone confirm this? From what I have read and heard he looks like a good prospect but the urgency to take him in the SSP is not really there unless we wanted him to play this year. We can let him tick over in the NAB league and still have first dibs on him next year. ( The new NGA rules then may come back to bite us)

The two players either side of Trac - any ideas?

Great Report Pickett. Love reading this stuff in particular! Go Dees!

10-12 gee that sucks. At least it is February and 6 of those will be eaten up prior to round 1. Lets hope it is isn’t a wasted year for him and Sammy gets back on the park for 15 games plus finals.

Very happy to hear Hunt is training with the backs. Going back to 2016 & 2017 he looked a potential A grader. It wasn't just his run and dash that impressed me, I thought he looked good defensively where he showed good commitment. Definitely has the pace to line up on those small forward types. With Nev struggling I hope this works out.

Kozzie will be good. Brings a lot to the table but what most pleases me is his kicking. He is near technically perfect on both feet.

Ben Brown Petty Weideman Lever TMac

With what they bring I can easily see Bowey and Laurie being best 22 next year. Could be as early as round 1.

Good draw. More positives than negatives. Hard draw coming home but would rather that the other way. Get the win loss ledger in the right direction early and build from there. Looks like we have finally got the right outcome around our Alice and QB games. After the Alice game we will have a minimum 8 day break into QB. Then we have the bye after QB. Floating fixture allows for some decent timeslots if we are showing a bit. Also I see the Bombers have to play down at Geelong (first time in 28 years I believe). They are really on the nose these days. Nice.
